EACOM Timber is reshuffling its senior management.
The Montreal forestry company has appointed Mel Lemsky as its vice-president of operations for its Ontario sawmills, a newly created position.
In a May 4 release, EACOM said Lemsky brings with him a long experience in the lumber industry and “will help optimize the performance” of its Ontario mills.
Mike O'Blenis has been bumped up from being general director of forest operations in north-east Ontario to a new title of vice-president of forest operations. Brian Nicks becomes vice-president of forestry and environment.
On a more senior level, Rick Collins, president and COO of International Operations becomes president and COO of Sales and Operations.
Operations Vice-President Eric Michaud is the new senior vice-president of operations with responsibility for sawmill operations and timberlands.
In a May 4 statement, EACOM president Rick Domain said “EACOM is building a strong team with a clear focus on improving productivity and reducing costs in all of its operations, as well as ensuring global growth in lumber sales and distribution.”
EACOM owns sawmillls in Timmins, Nairn Centre, Gogama, Ear Falls and has an equity interest in an Elk Lake plant. The company has a conditional purchase agreement to acquire two former Buchanan Forest Products mills in Thunder Bay and Atikokan, currently under bankruptcy protection.
